August 29th Is Going To Be A Good Day For Jujutsu Kaisen Fans Excited About Season 4
The hype surrounding Jujutsu Kaisen season 4 is at an all-time high, especially after the massive notes the previous season left off on. MAPPA has already confirmed the next season and even dropped a teaser during its 15th-anniversary livestream, but the studio has yet to reveal when it will actually return. That could finally change when Juju Fes 2026 kicks off on August 29, putting the series back in the spotlight for its fifth anniversary.
Juju Fes has always been one of the biggest events on the Jujutsu Kaisen calendar, and this year's celebration is no different. Held at K-Arena Yokohama, the two-day convention will bring together the anime's voice cast, with Yuji, Megumi, and the rest of the main characters taking the stage alongside performances from Tatsuya Kitani, ALI, and other artists tied to the series. With season 4 still missing a release window, fans have every reason to expect something big from the event, whether that means a release date, a new visual, or something completely unexpected.
Juju Fes Remains The Best Bet For A Confirmed Jujutsu Kaisen Season 4 Release Date
While concert and cast panels are a big part of Juju Fes, the anime announcements are where most eyes will be. The event is set to look back at Jujutsu Kaisen's history before turning its attention to the recently wrapped Culling Game Part 1. MAPPA has already given fans a first look at Jujutsu Kaisen season 4, with the June teaser showing brief footage of some of the fights still to come, including Kinji Hakari's clash with Hajime Kashimo. Since then, though, there has been very little to go on.
That makes August 29 a pretty obvious time for MAPPA to reveal its cards. Fans have been waiting for a release window and a longer trailer, with January 2027 already being discussed as a possible target. A proper look at the new season would also give fans their first real idea of how the new director is handling the Culling Game's biggest fights. There is even room for another advanced theatrical screening for the upcoming season, especially after Jujutsu Kaisen: Execution showed just how well the franchise can perform on the big screen.

01
The series begins when Yuji Itadori swallows a cursed object — the finger of a legendary curse known as the King of Curses, the most powerful cursed spirit in history. Who is this ancient being?
✓ Correct! Ryomen Sukuna is the King of Curses — an ancient, immensely powerful sorcerer from over a thousand years ago whose cursed essence was split into twenty indestructible fingers. When Yuji swallows one, Sukuna is reborn inside him, setting the entire story in motion.
✗ Cursed failure! The answer is Ryomen Sukuna. Mahito is a cursed spirit who manipulates souls, Jogo is a volcano-type curse, and Rika is the Queen of Curses from Jujutsu Kaisen 0. Only Sukuna holds the title of King of Curses.
02
The strongest jujutsu sorcerer alive is a blindfolded teacher at Tokyo Jujutsu High who possesses the legendary Six Eyes and the Limitless cursed technique. His birth alone shifted the balance of the jujutsu world. Who is he?
✓ Correct! Satoru Gojo is the strongest sorcerer in the modern era, wielding the Six Eyes and Limitless technique that grants him Infinity — an ability that makes him virtually untouchable. His confident declaration “Throughout Heaven and Earth, I alone am the honored one” became iconic.
✗ Cursed failure! The answer is Satoru Gojo. Suguru Geto is his former best friend turned enemy, Yuta Okkotsu is a Special Grade sorcerer from JJK 0, and Kento Nanami is a Grade 1 sorcerer and former salaryman. Only Gojo holds the title of the strongest.
03
The pinnacle of jujutsu sorcery is a technique that creates a separate space with a guaranteed hit against anyone trapped inside. This ultimate ability is declared by name before activation. What is it called?
✓ Correct! Domain Expansion is the supreme technique in jujutsu — a sorcerer manifests their innate domain as a physical space where their attacks cannot miss. Gojo’s Unlimited Void, Sukuna’s Malevolent Shrine, and Mahito’s Self-Embodiment of Perfection are among the most devastating.
✗ Cursed failure! The answer is Domain Expansion. A Binding Vow is a contract that trades conditions for power, Reverse Cursed Technique converts cursed energy into healing, and Black Flash is a critical hit that applies cursed energy within 0.000001 seconds of a physical hit.
04
Early in the series, Yuji Itadori develops an unintentional fighting style where his cursed energy arrives a moment after his physical punch, creating a devastating double impact. What is this technique called?
✓ Correct! Divergent Fist occurs because Yuji’s cursed energy is delayed behind his physical blow, creating two impacts in quick succession. While initially seen as a unique technique, it’s actually a sign of Yuji’s inexperience with cursed energy flow — he eventually learns to unify them properly.
✗ Cursed failure! The answer is Divergent Fist. Black Flash is a separate technique where cursed energy is applied within a fraction of a second of impact, creating a spatial distortion. Divergent Fist is Yuji’s signature early-series move caused by his lagging cursed energy.
05
A second-year student at Tokyo Jujutsu High possesses a hereditary cursed speech technique that imbues his words with cursed energy, forcing anyone who hears them to obey. To avoid accidentally cursing people, he only speaks using rice ball ingredients. Who is he?
✓ Correct! Toge Inumaki is the Inumaki clan descendant who wields Cursed Speech — his words become commands that others are forced to obey. He limits his vocabulary to onigiri ingredients like “salmon,” “tuna mayo,” and “kelp” to prevent accidentally harming people with his power.
✗ Cursed failure! The answer is Toge Inumaki. Maki Zenin has incredible physical prowess but limited cursed energy, Panda is a cursed corpse created by Principal Yaga, and Noritoshi Kamo uses Blood Manipulation. Only Inumaki speaks in rice ball ingredients to control his Cursed Speech.
06
Yuji, Megumi, and Nobara are first-year students at a school that trains jujutsu sorcerers to fight cursed spirits. This institution, where Gojo serves as a teacher, is located in Tokyo. What is it called?
✓ Correct! Tokyo Jujutsu High (Tokyo Metropolitan Curse Technical College) is where sorcerers train to exorcise cursed spirits. It’s one of two jujutsu schools in Japan — the other being Kyoto Jujutsu High, led by Principal Gakuganji. Their annual Exchange Event is a major arc in the series.
✗ Cursed failure! The answer is Tokyo Jujutsu High. The Zenin clan is one of the three great sorcerer families but not a school. Tokyo Jujutsu High is the institution hidden behind a barrier where Gojo, Nanami, and other sorcerers guide the next generation.
07
Sukuna’s Domain Expansion is unique — instead of creating an enclosed barrier, it manifests as an open shrine with a guaranteed hit range of up to 200 meters. This makes it one of the most powerful domains ever seen. What is it called?
✓ Correct! Malevolent Shrine is Sukuna’s Domain Expansion — a Buddhist shrine adorned with skulls that delivers relentless slashing attacks. Unlike other domains, it has no barrier, which is considered a Binding Vow that massively increases its effective range and power.
✗ Cursed failure! The answer is Malevolent Shrine. Unlimited Void is Gojo’s domain that overwhelms targets with infinite information, Chimera Shadow Garden is Megumi’s domain, and Coffin of the Iron Mountain is Jogo’s volcanic domain. Sukuna’s barrierless Malevolent Shrine is considered the pinnacle.
08
Jujutsu Kaisen became one of the best-selling manga series in history and a massive anime hit animated by Studio MAPPA. The manga was serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump. Who is the mangaka (creator) behind Jujutsu Kaisen?
✓ Correct! Gege Akutami is the creator of Jujutsu Kaisen, which began serialization in Weekly Shonen Jump in 2018. Akutami’s dark, complex storytelling and intricate power system have made JJK one of the defining manga and anime of its generation.
✗ Cursed failure! The answer is Gege Akutami. Tatsuki Fujimoto created Chainsaw Man, Koyoharu Gotouge created Demon Slayer, and Yuji Kaku created Hell’s Paradise. Only Gege Akutami is the mind behind the world of cursed energy, Sukuna, and Jujutsu Kaisen.

Are you Special Grade — or just a cursed spirit waiting to be exorcised?
And this time, fans outside Japan won't have to rely entirely on social media posts to find out what happened. Paid livestream tickets will be available for international viewers to purchase from the Stagecrowd website, giving overseas fans a way to watch the event as it happens. While the stream won't have live English subtitles, giving the global fandom a way to directly tune in and watch the next era of the franchise kick off completely live is a massive win.
Jujutsu Kaisen Rumble: Survivaton Could Steal The Show With Fresh Gameplay Footage
The anime is not the only thing fans can look forward to, either. Jujutsu Kaisen Rumble: Survivaton is also scheduled to release in 2026, giving the event another chance to show off the franchise's gaming side. Developed by poncle, the team behind Vampire Survivors, the game puts up to eight players into a chaotic battle for survival. A release date or fresh gameplay footage would be a nice addition to the season 4 news.
Jujutsu Kaisen has become one of the most in-demand anime franchises, so August 29 could be a big day for its fans. The Culling Game is only getting more intense, with Megumi finally crossing paths with Hana Kurusu, the sorcerer who possesses the Angel's technique that could help free Gojo from the Prison Realm. At the same time, Sukuna is making moves of his own, setting up a stretch of the story where almost every major character has something to lose. After everything Jujutsu Kaisen has built toward, August 29 could be the day the next chapter finally starts to feel real.
